An open band with no stable line-up and many members and collaborators, Living Music had a good live activity during 1972-73 and only released an album dedicated in its title to pop-art poet Allen Ginsberg.
Not a rock album and only to be intended as a progressive album for its research of world music roots out of every possible style, To Allen Ginsberg has strong folk influences and is mostly built on acoustic instruments. Lyrics are taken from Ginsberg's and other poets' works.
Singer Gianfranca Montedoro had a solo album in 1975, Donna circo, with help from some members of Murple.

A rare album, To Allen Ginsberg was probably
released and sold in limited quantities.
It had a gatefold laminated cover with a large booklet and an inner sleeve. Most
copies had a silver sticker promoting the "Free dimension" RCA bands
tour and album, and, as usual with RCA releases, there are many white label
promo copies around.
The album has just been reissued on CD for the first time in 2003.
No counterfeit exists.
